RINGTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A northeastern Pennsylvania community is mourning the death of a 19-year-old bicyclist who was struck by a car in New Mexico while riding across the country to raise breast cancer awareness.

Officials say John Anczarski, of Ringtown, Schyulkill County, died Tuesday of injuries suffered a day earlier in New Laguna, N.M. Anczarski and three friends were riding from Pennsylvania to California as part of a fundraising project they dubbed "The Pink Pedal."
